"Where are the design drawings of the building?" Xia Chenxi asked in a deep voice after squatting down and inspecting the fracture surface.
Zhao Feng spread the design drawings on the central table. Xia Chenxi came over and leaned down to look at the design drawings. In less than three minutes, Xia Chenxi silently walked up to the 38th floor alone.
Several people looked at each other, and ten minutes later, Xia Chenxi returned to the 37th floor.
"Is the construction site constructed in strict accordance with the design drawings?"
The construction site engineer blushed and said, "Of course, what does Engineer Xia mean? Do you think we cut corners?"
"You are indeed cutting corners!" Xia Chenxi said angrily, "The Hengjin Building is close to the river, and the soil is soft. During the construction process, the problem of the inclined plane must be seriously considered. The entire floor is designed with reinforced concrete and pure steel, in the form of a Trinity
Combine.”
"The 37th floor was originally supposed to be reinforced concrete, so why did it become a pure steel structure?"
"The pure steel structure bears vertical load-bearing weight, but the tilted surface has little strength. The designer originally designed this structure to prevent necessary defects in the foundation, wind and high-rise buildings. The construction team did not construct according to the design drawings at all."
"There must have been a fire on the 38th floor in the past five days. You covered it up very well, but you forgot that evidence often does not lie."
"There was a fire on the 38th floor. You didn't apply a layer of fireproof coating at all. The steel softened under the high temperature, causing collapse and fracture."
"Why isn't this cutting corners? Why not build according to the design drawings, why change to an all-steel structure? Why is there no fire-retardant coating layer? Why doesn't a safety engineer know that the steel after a fire will soften and reduce the load-bearing capacity? If the 37th floor is
With reinforced concrete, even if a fire breaks out on the 38th floor, it will not have much impact on the 37th floor, do you understand?"
Everyone was left speechless as she asked questions one after another.
A female engineer who looked like a student and wore a safety helmet pointed out all the defects in less than a minute of inspection, which they had ignored.
This made several men with many years of engineering experience blush with guilt.
The contractor's people didn't even dare to raise their heads.
What an amazing woman!
Xia Chenxi frowned, feeling furious in her heart. When she thought about the death of migrant workers due to the negligence of the construction team, she felt sad. Many engineering problems were caused by small problems.
In fact, if the pure steel structure on the 37th floor is normal, there will be no problem.
However, the high temperature of the fire softened the steel, causing the structure to be unable to bear load, so fractures occurred after a few days. If not discovered in time, all buildings above the 37th floor would collapse.
I don’t know how many people will die by then.
So irresponsible.
It's all because the construction team was greedy for convenience, even if it was a pure steel structure, the steel bars were not dense enough, and they cut corners, which led to the tragedy.
Xia Chenxi put the drawings away and said, "You'd better tell me which places are not designed according to the design drawings. If you tell the truth, I will redesign it and suspend the construction of floors above 47 until my design drawings come out.
Patch the loopholes.”
"If you don't tell me, the whole building will collapse. Think about the consequences."
"The soil here is too soft. I even have doubts about whether the foundation you built is strong enough."
The safety engineers looked ugly. They had always been responsible for the construction of the building, and now a female engineer suddenly appeared and pointed out their shortcomings. This made them very unhappy.
